Chained -On Hold-

Chapter 2: Things will never be the same again...

After dragging carts around for a couple of hours, I wiped the sweat off my forehead and headed to the nice open spot on top of a mountain, in the center of our fields, to have a picnic with mom and dad. As I arrived I saw that my parents had already laid down the blanket and carefully arranged the baskets filled with food on it. A trait that had been passed down my father's family was that we all have a big appetite but barely gain weight. According to mom it has something to do with the amount of energy our bodies can store and that it's the reason why my dad is so strong.

As we were eating I looked over the fields and noticed two cloaked men approach and decided to warn my parents as something didn't feel right.

"Mom, dad", I started. "What are those people doing down there?"

"That's what I want to know", dad replied. "Hey! You two!", he now directed himself towards the strangers as we walked up to them. All of a sudden I heard the smaller of the two laugh.

"Hehehe", he said. "Grant Jay and Nicole Azoff. We're here to kill you."

I was shocked but my dad reacted calmly: "As if you could" was his response.

They took off their cloaks and it was revealed that the smaller of the two was carrying two swords and the larger one had a large, heavy hammer with him. The larger one then continued: "Nicole Azoff, a mere 20 kills. And Grant Jay, not even worth it with 3 kills. The both of us have 50 kills each, how could you ever hope to defeat us. Hmmph, save your breath, talking's not going to save you."

I tried to step forward but my dad pushed me back and said to me: "Don't worry Sarah. Everything's going to be just fine."

He smiled at me like he always did, could this be the last time I ever see that smile? All of a sudden the two men acted quickly: The smaller one moved so fast I could barely follow his movements as he appeared behind my mom all of a sudden and the larger one swung the heavy-looking hammer with great strength at my dad. But what happened afterwards... Is what surprised me the most...

As the small one was boasting about how mom could never even hope to achieve his level of speed, he attacked with extreme speed, but when his blades were about to cut my mother in half... She vanished. I noticed that she had moved with a speed greatly exceeding that of the small guy, who looked terrified. At the same time, my father had stopped the massive hammer with nothing but his little finger. Both of my parents were smiling now.

"We told you didn't we...", my mom said. "That you wouldn't be able to kill us. Now it's our turn."

My mother threw an incredibly fast kick at the guy's chest, but I could swear on my life that even though I only saw her kick once, ten spots of impact appeared on the guy's chest before he spat out blood and his lifeless body hit the floor.

Meanwhile, my dad placed his other hand onto his opponent's chest and flicked against it with his index finger. This caused his attacker's entire rib cage to be completely crushed as his chest caved in and he spat out about half a liter of blood.

"Mom, Dad...", I started crying. For a moment I thought I'd have to live the rest of my life being an orphan, but I was so happy that wasn't the case...

-------------------------------------------------

Of course I'm not going to kill the parents, what kind of a monster do you think I am??

Though, trust me, her life will never be the same again after this...
